The Recreational Therapists from Oakland County ran a bicycle
safety clinic using adaptive hand bikes for special education students at a
local high school on Friday, June 1st. The participation was great and
all of the students were entered into a raffle to win a helmet.
Unfortunately, due to the rainy weather, we were restricted to the gymnasium,
but that was quickly forgotten by the many smiles and “this is sweet” comments
from students, most of who had never been on a bike! Some of the high
school staff and family members of the students were able to talk with the
Recreational Therapists about adaptive sports and recreational activities and
enjoyed collecting some of the resources from our display table. Go
Team!
